Interesting that when you buy the chrome skull with the ruby eyes there is nothing mentioned in the packaging about having to put your shift pattern anywhere. You would think with as litigious as the US is they would provide a sticker with every know shift pattern in the package.

In my country, Automatics are exempt from the labeling requirements. But with Australia being as litigious as it is, I'd use the same labels as the car the gearbox came out of. That's usually printed on the shift knob or on the shift panel/shift console

New Zealand was the original report

Australia was the question - they give tickets for it!

United States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
Quote:
49 CFR 571.102 - Standard No. 102; Transmission shift position sequence

S3.2 Manual transmissions. Identification of the shift lever pattern of manual transmissions, except three forward speed manual transmissions having the standard "H" pattern, shall be displayed in view of the driver at all times when a driver is present in the driver's seating position.

Wait, on that last quote it only says that it has to be "displayed in view of the driver at all times", so you could technically have a sticker anywhere as long as you can see it? As in hide it on the dash? (small but visible)

Ha, cheers DD. Doing a full resto for my first Datsun (120y) and both of my gearboxes don't have the pattern. One is missing the knob and one has it worn off! Are there any good suggestions for shifters? Preferences etc?
